    Got a brand new i1 Display Pro and when I calibrate to sRGB it blows out the details in DCI-P3 image. I’m guessing the native gamut is wider than sRGB of the display so that is why the detail is being lost.

    The white point of the default apple icc profile is about 7000K is there any way to keep the wider gamut of the Retina display while setting the white point to D65?

    Hi,

    Normally calibration doesn’t affect the gamut (much – unless the desired target whitepoint is far from native, in which case limiting the individual channels will cause gamut reduction).

    The white point of the default apple icc profile is about 7000K is there any way to keep the wider gamut of the Retina display while setting the white point to D65?

    Yes, set the whitepoint on the “calibration” tab.

    Yes I set white point and tried many things. DisplayCAL & X-Right software both lose colour detail Colour Gradation. If you’re on Mac load abstract shapes wallpaper to see. I’ll take a picture of it later tonight. I spent 5 hours trying to fix the issue with no luck.

    after Calibration colours look like they are over saturated.

    So, what is happening is the gamma or whatever is being blown out thus losing detail in Apple stuff. Reading about it seems like it’s a well known bug.

    I tried the work around you posted but even that is not good enough. Oh well will just use default profile till Apple one day fix this crap.
